Autoamputation of an extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma of the nasal septum

Abstract

Angiofibromas arising from outside the nasopharynx are rare but have been reported from a variety of sites in the head and neck. We report the case of an angiofibroma originating from the nasal septum and which underwent spontaneous autoamputation prior to intervention.
